Booster Juice Eclipse Smoothie Review 

The Eclipse Smoothie from Booster Juice is one of those drinks you want to photograph before you even take a sip. The activated charcoal gives it a jet-black, almost cosmic appearance, making it feel right on theme for Halloween. It’s the kind of drink that turns heads, and honestly, part of the fun is just seeing something so dark in your cup that still promises fruity freshness.

Flavor: On the first sip, you’re greeted with a burst of blueberry and cherry — tart but smooth, not too sharp. Pineapple and banana slide in subtly afterward, adding a little sweetness and mellow creaminess. What’s interesting is that even though the smoothie looks dramatic, the taste isn’t weird or intimidating. There’s no “charcoal taste” — the powder is neutral, so the drink tastes like a berry-pineapple smoothie you’d get year-round, only with a spooky makeover.

Balance & Sweetness: The sweetness is natural, not syrupy. The blueberries dominate just enough to give it that deep, jammy flavor, while the pineapple brings brightness and the banana keeps everything smooth. It’s balanced — fruity but not candy-sweet — which means you can finish a large without feeling like it’s too much.

Texture: Very smooth, very icy — Booster Juice nails the classic smoothie texture here. The charcoal doesn’t change the mouthfeel at all, so it’s as creamy and refreshing as you’d expect. The blend is thick enough to sip slowly through a straw but not so heavy that it feels like a meal replacement.

Portion & Filling: A medium feels generous, especially since the banana makes it more filling than a purely berry-based drink. If you like your smoothies to double as a snack, this one works perfectly. A large might be overkill unless you’re really in the mood, but it wouldn’t be hard to finish if you’re into fruity smoothies.

Overall Experience: The Eclipse Smoothie isn’t about reinventing the wheel — it’s about taking a familiar berry-pineapple blend and giving it a Halloween twist. The activated charcoal doesn’t affect the taste, but it completely transforms the look, making it an easy seasonal buy. If you like berry smoothies, you’ll enjoy it. If you want something more adventurous in taste, you may find it a little tame compared to how it looks.

Would I order again? Probably as a seasonal fun choice. It’s tasty, reliable, and very photogenic. A good one-off if you want a festive but approachable Halloween treat.
